Do people buy clothes off ebay?

I'm clearing out some of the Idle Son's stuff tonight, and he's left behind a load of old clothes that I was going to bag up and take to the Oxfam shop.

However, when I'm going through it there is some good stuff in there, not really worn, things like fcuk tops, lots of skater gear, quicksilver, etnies that kind of thing.

So I'm thinking maybe ebay them, nothing to lose except the fees right, which on a t-shirt selling for a couple of quid isn't going to be much.

Reckon there's at least 20-25 items, so even if they go for 99p plus postage I'm going to make a bit of cash. But will they sell? Can't decide if it's worth the effort of taking photos, ironing etc.

Hi, it's possible they'll sell - clothes do seem to go - especially if it's good named stuff! I've bought a couple of items myself, but they were brand new! Generally, the better you describe and show them, the better your chances of selling them! You never know til you try! Very Happy

I've bought some items off there.

Pair of Duffer St George jeans spring to mind.

Got them for a fiver, they are in stunning condition even though they are not brand new.

Still washed them 4 times before I dared wear them though. Thumbs Up

Other clothing items I've bought have all been BNWT.

Yes, I've bought a couple of things off eBay - including some 'bike kit (albeit by mistake)

Every little helps - even if it only makes a few quid, it'll clear your house and pay for some fuel for the 'bike Smile

HTH

I buy/will buy brand new with tag stuff from there, but wouldn't personally touch anything that's been worn / second hand.. but there are loads of people who do..

As long as they are clean/no stains. And also have a nice picture of them looking clean. Also if you say there from a non smoking home (if they are) then that will help.

Yup, most of the good lady wife's sales (1100+) have been clothes.

I used to buy clothes off of Ebay, but most just didnt fit. Either seller discribed them wrong, or a size 14, wasnt a size 14, was a 12!
So I gave up.

Some friends missuses sell baby clothes on ebay with good success.

I personally would only buy BNWT stuff, unless it was a REALLY good offer.

Ive bought shirts and stuff (really bad hawaiian ones, as bad as I could find) but doubt if I would buy some blokes T-shirt, worn only once or some shit.

If you look through the listings though there are plenty of people who do it all the time do there must be some success in it Thumbs Up

Clothes sell a hell of a lot better than most other stuff, in mine and my girlfriend's experience.

She seems to have bought more than she sold though, so beware!! Wink

I've bought clothes, mostly new but some second hand, as well as shoes and some bike stuff (as new leather bike jacket for £75 inc postage!).

I've bought loads of stuff especially nice labels and special occassion stuff that's only been worn once. I'd give it a whirl.

Unless I want to spend £90 in High and Mighty, or search for an hour for the one horrible pair of size 14s they have in TK Maxx (they only had a pair of Nike running shoes yesterday) Rolling Eyes

I have no option other than to use the internet, normally eBay. The 2nd last pair of shoes I bought were some Caterpillars off eBay. They were used but looked in pretty perfect condition, the label inside the sole wasn't worn or anything, so I figured I didn't have much to lose. They cost £20, lasted through 2 festivals and day-in-day-out wearing for over 18 months, and they're the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. I'm still trying to find another pair the same as them.
